Let's just stick to the facts related to the argument. The article was not about comparing girls to boys except a small side-note about diagnosis ratios and the increasing expectation that children sit quietly at school. Your comment is a non-sequitur about boys being undesirable, which is not relevant to this particular discussion.

So, we've got two stylized facts:

1. In modern American culture, young boys, but not girls, are diagnosed with personality disorders and drugged into submission at rates so alarming that skeptics refer to things like "Youthful Tendency Disorder". ( https://www.theonion.com/more-u-s-children-being-diagnosed-w... )

2. Also in modern American culture, there appears to be a very strong preference for having female children over males.

But you don't think these could be related?

The idea that culture matters, has to be censored, seems a little harsh in context of the article.
